Murfreesboro

Neighborhoods Worth Knowing

The Historic Public Square is the anchor; everything else radiates outward toward MTSU and the newer growth corridors.

• Downtown / The Square — 90-plus locally owned shops and restaurants around the courthouse.
• Blackman (37128) — the fastest-growing quadrant of the city, heavy new construction over the last 15 years.
• Siegel (37129) — established north-side neighborhoods with I-24 access and Stones River greenspace close by.
• Salem — south and southeast side, home to much of the city's newest construction and Salem Elementary, one of the top-rated schools in Murfreesboro.
